Why do I have this queasy feeling that adding Kadri at the deadline, will lead to an outcome similar to Gilmour's first game back with the leafs.

"For the Flames, who are likely to finish near the bottom of the league standings"

Do you even watch last season? That's what everybody said then too and they'd have been in the playoffs if they bothered to win a single one of their THIRTEEN overtime losses.

Then again, given that you're a Leafs blogger, I'm just going to assume you have a tendency to forget that the western conference exists.
